Expect less and live well.

To improve one's self-preservation belief, one should enrich his or her life with altruism. Donating clothes, money or time to another person is a way to cultivate happiness because there are many ways to be kind and charitable even in our closest relationships where we have the best of connections with others. In order to make long-lasting improvements, people should concentrate on enriching their lives with positivity - hoping for good things instead of worrying about what might go wrong in the future. Expecting less automatically leaves more room for contentment - people wouldn't judge themselves if they were ambivalent about whether what they ask for will come true.

It is realized that, contentment has rather an impact on the lower or higher self-preservation belief. We all have to recognize that when we are happy and content with what we have in our lives, we can work within our affordances instead of wishing for something else.


In Asian cultures, we value the notion of “living well”. This very term encompasses:

  • an idea of minimalism and simplicity

  • finding happiness in the little things, and…

  • having a sense of gratitude

In this post, I will talk about how we embrace the concept of “getting by”. An Epitaph mentality, where you don’t have aspirations to be successful but have to find pleasure in all things minus ambitiousness is prevalent. With lower contentment comes happiness through appreciating what you do have rather than regretting what you don't have. So long as it's relative to finances and the immediate surrounding lifestyle they live with they feel contented with their life.

Contentment is important, if not necessary for our happiness. If we expect more without being grateful to what we have - regardless how little it may be, we're doomed.

Life is not always, good and we should be able to cope with that. Those who let themselves break down when they got bothered by a stupid thing and accept life as it’s servitude may lower the probability of contentment in life. Optimism dictates a person's mindset, which recommends our personal beliefs so it is better to expect less, even if that amounts to no expectation whatsoever.

People who always expect things beyond themselves will never find satisfaction in their lives. Attainment of happiness depends on the level of contentment but those who set their expectations higher can never find enough self-contentment because they always need something more or something better. Expecting less will make anyone bearable with everything we have or worse from what we thought you had.

Not each people in the world have a liking for high-stress, high-pressure life. You cannot expect all people to be the same and to have the same desires or ambitions for their own lives.
